SunartCommunityHydro

Short thread which may be of interest to other community renewables groups considering the development of a wind project - if it is, get in touch! After successfully building & operating our 100kW hydro for 10 yrs, we (Sunart Community Renewables) are looking to develop.... 1/n

Great to hear that our friends at @CoigachCDC have got their wind turbine back in operation - a huge relief. We're planning our own 850 kW turbine so it's reassuring to see a fellow, community project successfully overcome some fairly significant challenges. Math fhèin! 👍

Just reposting this in case anyone missed it in January - we're still convinced of the benefits of a community LiDAR project, and would be pleased to hear from any potential partners 👇

Last call for this - about to finalise our proposal, so don't miss the chance to be part of it!

ICYMI during the week👇

For clarification, that's each permanent Sunart *household* (not each individual resident)

With the cost of living crisis still very much with us, we're pleased again to support cost of living payments to all Sunart residents via a £35,000 grant to the Sunart Community Benefit Fund. First £150 cheques were distributed by the team at the village Christmas Fair tonight.

As members will know, our AGM is this Thursday 2 November at 7.30pm. A reminder that if you can't make it, please return your proxy form by e-mail so we that can record your votes.

We've just paid annual share interest to members at the usual 4% - keep an eye on your bank accounts tomorrow for it. (and if you're one of only 6 people remaining who have yet to give us your bank details - get in touch with the Treasurer!)

Another milestone reached: we've now bought back over half of the share capital held by members following our initial share offer back in 2015 - not far short of £400,000 to date.
